Hyolyn returns with 4th mini album 'OriginaLyn' on July 22, first in 4 years

OriginaLyn arrives July 22, 2026 at 6 PM KST. It's Hyolyn's fourth mini album and her first in roughly four years.

The last one was iCE back in July 2022. Between then and now she's kept busy with digital singles: "Wait," "YOU AND I," "SHOTTY," and "Standing On The Edge" (December 2025). ReH Entertainment describes the new project as "an expanded version based on the performance and musical spectrum shown in previous works."

Her solo run started with the 2013 full-length LOVE&HATE. Then came IT'S ME, SAY MY NAME, and iCE. The Chang Mo collab "BLUE MOON" hit 100 million streams and 2.5 million downloads on Gaon Chart.

Hyolyn (Kim Hyo-jung, 35) was SISTAR's leader and main vocalist, also part of SISTAR19. She took first place in her debut on Immortal Songs 2 and swept the solo rounds of Queendom 2. Her live schedule spans US tours, European dates, and the concert series "KEY."

OriginaLyn drops July 22.
